Father Disowns Daughter for Disowning Gay Son

This letter from a concerned father to his daughter, disputes her claim for kicking her son Chad out of the home. In the letter the father disowns his daughter the way she disowned her son, simply because he came out to her as gay. 

Many kudos to this parent for taking a stand for gay rights, while teaching his daughter a meaningful lesson in the process.

The letter reads - Dear Christine: 

"I'm disappointed in you as a daughter. You're correct that we have a "shame in the family", but mistaken about what it is. Kicking Chad out of your home simply because he told you he was gay is the real "abomination" here. A parent disowning her child is what goes "against nature. "

"The only intelligent thing I heard you saying in all this was that "you didn't raise your son to be gay." Of course you didn't. He was born this way and didn't choose it any more than he being left-handed. You however, have made a choice of being hurtful, narrow-minded and backward. So, while we are in the business of disowning our children, I think I'll take this moment to say goodbye to you. I now have a fabulous (as the gay put it) grandson to raise, and I don't have time for heartless B-word of a daughter."

"If you find your heart, give us a call."

2nd New Mexico County Makes History

It took one couple to ignite the change for marriage equality within a New Mexico county, and that couple is Jen and Angelique Neuman! 

This couple devoted 20 years of their lives together and now that Jen (seen-r) is faced with life-threatening brain cancer, forcing the couple into precaution mode they sought marriage justice for the sake of their family.

This couple is amazing to me and I thank NCLR, for helping this family attain not only protection for their family, but also for the many others who will come after. This is one of those bittersweet moments, when there's triumph and sadness at the same time. Where something good comes from the bad. 

To this loving couple of 20 years, words probably can't express completely the grief that is now upon you, but I am truly grateful for your contribution to our American society. Thank you for making your bad/good. Congrats!

The Supreme Court Overturns The Defense Of Marriage Act

Today the U.S. Supreme Court made history yet again, overturning the "Defense of Marriage Act" and rejecting anti-gay activists' call for California's Proposition 8. 

It is now law of the land that all married couples share the same rights, benefits, and treatment under federal law. All 13 states that currently allow same-sex marriage, are now required under federal law to recognize all marriages as equivalent.

It has been a long time coming but change finally came, oh yes it did; only 37 more states to go! Sheesh.
